Eugene
F. Tharalson, MD
Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Gene Tharalson attended Seattle
University, a Jesuit school in the center of the city. A major in chemistry
gave him the opportunity to work as an atmospheric chemist for the year
following graduation. In spite of challenging work that took him all the
way to Antarctica, he very quickly realized that this would not be the career
path for him. Nine months later, he enrolled at the Medical College of Wisconsin
(Go Packers!). His first interest in gastroenterology developed during an
elective rotation as a medical student, and continued throughout his residency
at the University of Arizona in Tucson. After serving there as a chief resident,
he entered gastroenterolgy fellowship at the Phoenix VA/Good Samaritan program.
There his interests included endoscopic ultrasonography, Barrett’s
esophagus, and the natural history of cirrhosis. In addition to developing
his skills in gastroenterology, he became known during his fellowship as
a dynamic speaker. Perhaps his best-known lecture is an in-depth review
of intestinal gas. His career goals include general gastroenterolgy practice
with an emphasis on endoscopic ultrasound. He now resides in Scottsdale
with Erin, his wife of three years. |
